--- READ --- Robert Lindsay Wells, Ph.D. 1405 Lynn Avenue, Clearwater, FL 34615 (813) 447-0604, WellsCom@aol.com READ is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends or associates, but please do not give it away altered or as part of other software. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software at reasonable prices, and yet to provide incentive for pro- grammers to continue to develop new products. If you find the program useful, and find that you are continuing to use READ after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment to the author. The registration fee will license ONE COPY for use on any ONE COMPUTER at any ONE TIME. Anyone distributing READ for any kind of remuneration must first contact Robert Lindsay Wells at the address above for authorization. This author- ization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering READ immediately (However Robert Lindsay Wells must be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of READ). You are encouraged to pass a copy of READ along to your friends or associates for evaluation, with the understanding that anyone who continues to use the program is required to register it. All of the included files MUST be included when distributing this program. If you archive the program for distribution through BBS's, please use the name READ25.ZIP (where the digits 25 would represent the current version of the program, and the PKZIP format is used). --- INCLUDED FILES --- The following files are included in each READ release: READ.EXE The READ text editing program READ.DOC Description of the READ program READ.TXT This file (describing registration) READ.ORD Ready to print (ASCII) registration form The best place to find the latest release of READ is through the America On Line software exchange (Keyword SOFTWARE, search for READ).

You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual. Your support of the Shareware system allows talented programmers to continue to bring you entertaining and useful programs at greatly reduced cost. --- ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS --- Robert Lindsay Wells is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442- 9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536. _______ ____|__ | (R) --| | |------------------- | ____|__ | Association of | | |_| Shareware |__| o | Professionals -----| | |--------------------- |___|___| MEMBER
